*weary sigh*

Just went through another Steam discovery queue, and literally half of the games in it had "Prologue" in their titles. It is, indeed, one of the quickest ways to get me to click next.

I'll normally click past those as well, but if one looks promising I'll at the very least toss it on the "Wish List". In quotes because I don't use the wish list on steam as a wish list per say. Instead I use it as a reminder list as otherwise I'll completely forget the game exists as it gets buried under the 100 odd games added each day.

Really wish they'd add a Reminder list to run alongside the wish list. I'm half tempted to actually send them a note recommending it.

The only use I've gotten out of my wish list has been when Steam sends out those "such and such games on your Wish List are on sale" emails. And more often than not, lately, my response has been less of the "oh, cool, that game is on sale, I guess I'll buy it now" variety and more of the "huh, if I'm not willing to buy this game even for a dollar or whatever, then why do I have it on my wish list in the first place?" which tends to lead to a culling of my wish list.

I've also tried "following" games that I'm interested in, beyond just putting them on the wish list, but the only thing that seems to do is make update blogs or whatever posted by that game's devs show up on the "activity" page, which I almost never look at, regardless.
